Yu Xiao was not only angry at this moment, she also felt vaguely uneasy. Looking at her parents' attitude towards him, she felt that her relationship with Kang Shaonan would definitely not end so easily!
This old man must be up to something again!
"Kid, how can you talk like that? Guests are welcome. Shaonan, Xiaoxiao is just spoiled by us. Don't take it to heart!" Ren Zhiping frowned at her daughter's anger. She looked at Kang Shaonan's embarrassed explanation, fearing that Kang Shaonan would leave in anger because of his daughter.
"Xiaoxiao has been spoiled by us, Shaonan, she is still young, don't bother with her!" Yu Jiahou also looked at Kang Shaonan flatteringly. In fact, in addition to thinking that the soldier was honest and reliable, there was another most important reason for letting his daughter marry him. The Yu family's company had recently encountered a bottleneck in its development, and the funds were temporarily unable to turn around. It urgently needed the help of the Kang family. If Yu Xiao married Kang Shaonan, the Yu family's company would be revived.
"Auntie, uncle, it's okay." Kang Shaonan smiled gently, looked up at Yu Xiao, straightened his back and replied: "Auntie and uncle didn't know at first that I brought you to the army. I came here to apologize to them. Auntie and uncle, I'm really sorry this time!" At the end, Kang Shaonan stood up from the sofa and apologized to Yu Jiahou and Ren Zhiping on the side.
"Okay! Now that you've apologized, you can leave, right?" Yu Xiao stared at him with a look of deep hatred and clenched his two little fists, wishing he could jump up and tear apart his hypocritical face and make him disappear from his sight immediately.
Kang Shaonan stood up with a smile, looked at Yu Xiao's parents and said seriously: "Auntie, uncle, I'm going back first!"
"Shaonan, don't listen to her nonsense! You must eat here tonight before leaving!" Mother Yu quickly raised her hand to stop her.
"Yes, let's eat first!" Yu's father also echoed.
"No need, I've already greeted my family, the old man is waiting, I'll leave first!" Kang Shaonan greeted Yu Xiao's parents, looked at Yu Xiao again, and then left Yu Xiao's home.
Seeing his parents sending Kang Shaonan out the door in a flattering manner, Yu Xiao sat down on the sofa in anger, puffing up his cheeks like a pig.
"Asshole! Rogue! Despicable villain!"
When Ren Zhiping and Yu Jiahou sent Kang Shaonan away and returned to the living room, they saw their daughter sitting on the sofa sulking. The two of them smiled at each other and walked over to her, sitting down on her left and right.
"Xiaoxiao, Shaonan is a good man! You can tell at a glance that he is the type of man who loves his wife. Your mom and dad are both experienced people. Trust our judgment. You should stop being stubborn. Do you hear me?" Ren Zhiping first put her arm around her daughter's shoulders to counsel Yu Xiao.
"Yes, Xiaoxiao, Shaonan is back this time, so let him take a day off next Monday, and you two can go and get the marriage certificate to avoid any more trouble." Yu Jiahou nodded in agreement. His daughter's wedding could not be delayed any longer. Some people had started to collect debts in the past two days. If they waited any longer, the Yu family's company would probably go bankrupt.
Yu Xiaoteng stood up from the sofa after hearing what his parents said. He stared at his parents and protested loudly: "Mom! Dad! I don't like him! I hate him to death. Why do you insist that I marry him? You have loved me so much since I was a child, and you said that as long as I am happy, you will be satisfied. But now you are pushing me into the fire pit, and I will never be happy in my life! Are you attracted to their family's money or do you really want your daughter to be happy? If you want me to marry him, wait until I die!" Yu Xiao threw down a bunch of words fiercely and returned to her bedroom angrily.
Hearing the muffled bang, Yu Jiahou and Ren Zhiping looked at each other and finally sighed helplessly.
After Kang Shaonan left Yu Xiao's house, he asked the driver to take him back to Kang's house. Kang Shaonan has a very prominent family. His grandfather Kang Yueting was once the commander of a military region. Now he is over 80 years old but still energetic and strong. He has retired behind the scenes many years ago. Kang Yueting has a son and a daughter, his son Kang Zhenguo and his daughter Kang Zhenhua. Having been a soldier all his life, he always hoped that his son Kang Zhenguo would be able to inherit his father's career and become an excellent soldier. However, his son Kang Zhenguo had no interest in being a soldier since he was a child. Faced with the coercion of his father Kang Yueting, Kang Zhenguo tried every way to confront his father. Coupled with Kang Yueting's wife's indulgence of her son, Kang Zhenguo finally won.
Although Kang Zhenguo didn't like being a soldier, he showed great interest in doing business. He has a sharp eye and has always had an accurate grasp of the market. Within a few years, he developed his small company into a business empire. Kang Zhenguo has three sons and one daughter. Kang Shaonan is the eldest, Kang Shaobei is the second, and Kang Shaodong and Kang Shaoxi are twins. Because Kang Zhenguo did not become a soldier, it has always been a regret in Kang Yueting's heart. So when Kang Shaonan was born, old man Kang Yueting placed all his hopes on this eldest grandson. Kang Shaonan lived up to his grandfather's expectations. He not only became an excellent soldier, but also made it to the position of regiment leader. So in the Kang family, old man Kang Yueting's favorite is the eldest grandson Kang Shaonan.
When Kang Shaonan returned home, it was just time for dinner. Knowing that his eldest grandson would be back, Mr. Kang had already given instructions that no one was allowed to eat until his eldest grandson Kang Shaonan came back. So as soon as Kang Shaonan entered the house, his sister Kang Shaoxi couldn't help but run over and hugged her eldest brother's arm to complain.
"Brother, you're back! If you don't come back, our whole family will go on a hunger strike because of you!"
Kang Shaonan looked at his sister and smiled: "Is it that serious?"
"Brother, it's not serious, it's quite serious!" The third brother Kang Shaodong walked down the stairs and took over his sister's words.
Kang Shaonan looked at his brother and smiled, then walked to the sofa at the fourth ring and greeted his grandfather Kang Yueting: "Grandpa, I'm back!"
"Well, sit down!" Seeing his eldest grandson coming back, Kang Yueting smiled. In this family, the eldest grandson's position in his heart is more important than that of his son Kang Zhenguo.
"Dad, Mom!" Kang Shaonan looked at his parents and nodded, then sat down next to the old man.
"Shaonan, where is Yu Xiao? Didn't she come back with you?" Liu Xiaoyun looked at her son and asked impatiently. The Kang family had already known that Kang Shaonan took Yu Xiao to the army.
"Oh, I sent her home!" Kang Shaonan answered truthfully.
"Brother, you brought her to the army, aren't you forcing her?" Kang Shaonan's marriage is absolutely the top priority in this family. Once the topic was brought up, Kang Shaodong and Kang Shaoxi also came over with a smile.
"You little brat, how can you talk like that? With the strength of our Kang family, your brother doesn't need to do that!" Kang Zhenguo frowned and scolded his son Kang Shaodong.
"Shaonan, what is her attitude? You are already 32 years old. When your father and I were your age, you were already 10 years old. I tell you, when you come back this time, get the certificate from her. If she doesn't agree, you'd better find someone else as soon as possible. There are plenty of girls who want to marry into the Kang family. Mom promises to find you a better one!" The eldest son's marriage has always been a concern for Liu Xiaoyun and Kang Zhenguo. If it weren't for Kang Shaonan's insistence, the title of Yu Xiao, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Kang family, would have been given to someone else long ago.
"Brother, do you still remember my best friend Xinrou? She has been completely conquered by you since the first time she met you. If you are willing, how about I make an appointment for you?" Shaoxi leaned over and wanted to introduce his best friend Xinrou to his eldest brother.
"I know what's going on between Yu Xiao and me, so you don't have to worry about it." Kang Shaonan expressed his attitude decisively.
"Tsk! Brother, what's so good about Yu Xiao? I heard from my second brother yesterday that she already has a boyfriend and you are not in her heart at all. Why are you trying to please someone who doesn't like you?" Kang Shaoxi pouted in confusion. He didn't have a good impression of Yu Xiao at all.
"Shaonan knows what's going on. There's no need for you to worry about it!" As soon as Mr. Kang spoke, no one dared to speak, and there was a depressing silence in the living room.
"Grandpa, you don't want my eldest brother to be single for the rest of his life, do you? If his marriage is delayed any further, when will you have a great-grandson?" Kang Shaobei's voice was heard at the living room door. He had just returned home from get off work, and while standing at the door changing shoes, he heard his family discussing his eldest brother's marriage, and couldn't help but interjecting a few words.
"Well, Shaonan, why don't you get married to that girl before the Spring Festival this year? If it doesn't happen before the New Year, your marriage will not be up to you in the future. Let's eat!" Grandpa Kang felt that there was some truth in his grandson Kang Shaobei's words. In fact, he wanted his eldest grandson Kang Shaonan to get married and have children more than anyone else.
"Grandpa, I'll listen to you!" Kang Shaonan nodded and helped his grandfather to the restaurant.
The incident before dinner did not affect the family atmosphere, and the dinner was a happy one. After dinner, Kang Shaonan reported to his grandfather about the army and returned to his bedroom. When he opened the wardrobe to change clothes, his younger brother Kang Shaobei walked in wearing casual clothes.
"How is the company lately?" Kang Shaonan saw that his brother looked tired, so he walked with him to the leisure sofa and sat down.
"What else can I do? In one word, tired! Big brother, what good is there for your lousy regiment commander? Not only is he exhausted, but he also has no money and no vacations. Come back and help me soon, or your brother will age prematurely!" Although the Kang family has many children, Kang Shaonan is in the army, Kang Shaodong and Kang Shaoxi are both in their senior year, so the only one who really helps Kang Zhenguo to take on the responsibility of the company is Kang Shaobei. Every time Kang Shaonan comes back from the army, Kang Shaobei will run to his big brother's room and persuade him earnestly to go to the company to help. But every time, Kang Shaonan refuses.
"I think you are doing pretty well. I don't have much talent for business, so you just have to work harder! Besides, if I come back, the old man will tear the roof off our house." Kang Shaonan still spoke in the same tone as before. On the one hand, he liked the exciting life in the army, and on the other hand, this was also the old man's expectation for him. He must not let him down. (To be continued)
